What's DDG's business model?

AUFS or something?

Oscar Health Inc. | Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) | Engineer | Product | Design | Data Science | Non-tech roles | New York / LA | Onsite

Healthcare is broken; we're trying to fix it. The Oscar team is focused on utilizing technology, design and data to humanize healthcare. We're a group of technology and healthcare professionals who looked at the current state of the US healthcare system, got frustrated by the horrible consumer experience, and decided to do something big about it. Backed by a renowned set of investors and advisors, we’ve set out to revolutionize healthcare.

I am a SRE at Oscar and we are actively seeking engineers (of all level, new grad to senior) to join us.

I think Fabric http://www.fabfile.org/ does some of that already.

Without school’s library access to articles, I wouldn’t be able to complete my paper this semester. I did find and cite articles from Open Access so I am all for ditching paywall publications.

Curious what is the rationale?

You don't want to store secrets in state files. Imagine you run a CI/CD system where you run terraform plan. Now secrets is all public.

Let me guess... Pivotal?

The hell.js is funny as hell. Pair-programming is the worst practice I’ve seen in my life. The lyrics says so.

So now packages relying on older values would have to be updated, right? In that case, wow, all those ancient - but usable FORTRAN/C code. Correct me if I am wrong.

“Instead of learning from Google about being transpernt on how they use user data”

I am curious evidences of this. Or are you comparing objectively with the two relative to recent events? Then sure. FB’s been very sketchy all this time with little knowing until the whole election interference and Cambridge scandal went public and viral did people pay attention.

But thanks for the takeaways.

Fwiw, E5 can make $400k-500k range or more. It’s an insane compensation just doing well on interview with 5 years of experience (know a few myself).

5 years? I remember a major outage maybe in the past year.

Let me put it this way. HackerNews, or in fact, any news outlets are not official. Customers should be getting emails from Google and be informed on its official webpage to explain what's going on. You don't want your neighbor to tell you you owe taxes. You want the government to send a notice to you.

well the most annoying part is the navbar stays... worst UX.

It really is a great tool for validate ideas.

Sorry for my grammar above as I was typing on my mobile phone halfway on the bus.

This is where design doc should be required. At my company we engineers are required to come up with a design doc and share with the whole org for feedback then a design meeting that takes place every week. At first I thought this was a step back because I felt it was a water fall but after writing my own design doc I quickly realized “talking is really fucking cheap.” Sitting down and write a doc that considers as many corner cases and implementation really produce high quality work. It’s all about discipline indeed.

Not really. They were just another startup at the beginning.

Dropbox would not be possible without raising money. Airbnb would not be possible without raising money first. Uber would not have been possible without raising money.

Some of them can make revenue from the get-go, some can't. But the truth is most of them would not have survived this long without first round of seed money.

> It’s about capturing criminals not detecting suspects.

It's as much as capturing criminals as to detect suspects/find suspects.

> Don't raise money unless you want it and it wants you.

But this is pretty much the whole point and most startups DO need money because without it nobody can hire anyone.

Maybe. Chinese surveillance is so advance it can detect a suspect in a crowded area pretty quickly. Its dataset is too huge.

Why is it not rational to feel insulted in the first place? Do I need permission and science to feel insulted? Is psychology irrational, then

Definition of irrationality:

> the quality of being illogical or unreasonable.

What part of what I said is irrational? Calling people having faith in religion is holding irrational belief? Irrational is a negative word, not a positive word unless you think we are talking about mathematics.

Numbers are irrational. We can simply write 2+2 = 1 if we assume 1 is called 2. So how can you make religion irrational? Just because the story telling is bizzares and perhaps even unproven, doesn't mean the stories are irrational. We have science theories which cannot be proven and yet continue to be listed in the literature and called science. Let's respect religion. People have their preference and it is irrational and condensing to say we hold irrational beliefs. That's very insulting. I ask for apology here.

I downvoted you because people who have religious faith are not always irrational people. This is a cruel way to judge those who believe in higher beings. Watch your words, seriously.

My response is simply that we concept of time in religious text is not what we think it is. I think science exists and God also exists. Plenty of scientisits believe in God and science at the same time. Are you going to quote and say they are also irrational? Sigh. I may be an angry engineer but I don’t think you should imply all of us as irrational. Don’t do that. You are insulting everyone who believe in a religion for having belief in “irrational beliefs”.

Wow hold on! The first is so widely taught I am surprised! Has there been accidents because people/software not knowing about such failing point? This is so dangerous. I titled “math that eventually fails to teach students the real math”.

I’m not sure how many math and engineering professors are aware of #1. Do PhDs learn this stuff?

Isn’t this “problem created by” anyone who is rich then?

Is the reason this is on the front page because he’s an investor? Can HN not feature these “I am quitting facebook” every month? Let’s get back to real news and real thoughts. Oh btw, I have quit facebook too because I was mentally unstable. AMA time but I bet no one would because I ain’t Om.

Everyone has this “my opinion is my own.”
